After the other party was silent for a while, he finally compromised.

"I'm President Ebam," a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, the voice Martin had heard a lot on television before.

"Your Excellency," Martin had thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to report the matter of the mysterious man to Warsanton, "Our scientific research results and national strategic information are being invaded. ”

"Did you find anything?" President Ebamu asked, somewhat puzzled, not believing Martin's words, because there was no one in the presidential palace who had given him similar information.

"You know I'm a scientist," Martin hesitated, "and of course I'm a hacker. ”

"Whatever you have done in secret, I promise you here that you will be pardoned for anything that involves breaking the law." President Ebamu misinterpreted Martin's hesitation as a concern about revealing another layer of her identity.

"In order to give you a little more confidence in what I am going to say next, I will tell you something that seems to you only to you, I wonder if it is convenient?" Martin knew that the president didn't fully trust his words, so he had to try.

"It's okay, please." President Ebamm said generously, and Martin's words succeeded in arousing his curiosity.

"You wrote an email to your ex-girlfriend Gina Vieve when you were younger," Martin said.

"I've written her a lot of emails," Ebam smiled, and Martin was a little surprised by the sudden mention of his ex-girlfriend.

"I'm referring to the only email you didn't send, which you kept in your private email with a hand-drawn sketch of Genevieve's face." After Martin said this, he began to wait quietly for the reaction of the other side.

Two black lines appeared on Ebaam's forehead on the other end of the phone, and he turned his head to look at the other members of the team sitting next to him, and everyone turned their heads in embarrassment to look in other directions after looking at the president.

"Please tell me that very important matter, Martin," Ebam began, convinced of Martin's words.

"I've found out that a mysterious person has hacked into Warsanton's national computer security system several times, and he's also hacked into the Tampa Institute's server database, and I've found his track of him at the National Data Center in Gipsy." Martin said calmly, "I think this matter is very serious, and I hope you will pay attention to it, because this mysterious man's actions are beyond the scope of personal actions, and I believe that there must be some behemoth behind him." ”

Martin's words shocked everyone on the other end of the phone, and the members of the president's team looked at each other, and Kelly, as the secretary of homeland security, was even more embarrassed, he did not expect such a serious mistake in the security affairs he was responsible for.

"Dr. Martin, the information you give back is very important," Ebam praised Martin for the news, "I have to admit that we have not done enough in the area of information security, and I hope to invite you to help us solve this hidden danger, I don't know if you are willing to accept it." ”

"Of course, Your Excellency," Martin readily agreed, "this opponent is tricky, but I am sure I will not lose to him." ”

"Very well," Abam nodded, "I'll arrange for a Tampa Bay cruise ship to pick you up from your nearest Everglades, please hand over the phone to Jason, I have orders for him." ”

"Major, the president is looking for you," Martin handed the phone back to Jason, and silently returned to his truck.

"Major, Warsaintton owes you a medal of military merit," Ebam first acknowledged Jason's efforts in protecting Dr. Mario and the others, "We need you to protect Dr. Mario and Dr. Martin and bring them safely to Everglades." Fort Myers is so far away from you, and you'll have to pass through the city of Naples and Cap Coral along the way, which can create a lot of uncertainty about the future of your trip. I'll arrange for a cruise ship anchored in Tampa Bay to meet you in Everglades, and then we'll head to Houston together when you meet. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency," Jason said with a nod of emotion, the first time he had received an order from the President himself, an honor not even enjoyed by his superior, Colonel Dirk.

"This is a difficult task, the country has no other military forces in Florida, we can't give you more help, I hope you can understand," Ebam's words made Jason's heart warm, and even at this moment, if Jason was required to give his life for this country, he would not hesitate to stand up.

"From now on, Warsaintton will raise the priority of your troops' satellite lines," Ebamm continued, "and then the Cyber Warfare Functional Composition Command (JFCCNW) will go to Houston to join you, and when the time comes, please arrange for Dr. Martin to lead them." ”

"All right, Your Excellency," Jason said, his whole body rejuvenated. When he was in contact with each other before, he had been in a state of confusion, with no specific direction of action, and the only thing he could do was to protect the safety of his team members.

Now, the new order is to head to Everglades, which is only half the distance from the convoy's current location to Fort Myers, and the plains of the Everglades are almost in between. The plan that the president had set for them was very thoughtful, and it perfectly avoided those dangerous urban areas.

What made Jason happiest was that he had been worried all the way about finding a ship to go to sea when he arrived at Fort Myers, but now that all of this was no longer a problem, the Tampa Bay cruise ship would come directly to meet them.

After hanging up the phone, Jason returned to the truck and picked up Hill and kissed him fiercely, then gathered the rest of the team to announce the good news they had just received from Warzenton.

Hill's face was still flushed, and Jason's public kiss made her unprepared. However, the next news that Jason announced to everyone made everyone in the team boil, and everyone's faces swept away the gloom of last night, and they hugged each other to celebrate, and some people cried with joy and sighed that the bitterness had come.

A smile appeared on Martin's face, and after feeding back the mysterious man's information to Warzenton, her heart was much more relaxed, and she was the only one fighting alone, so she often felt a little powerless. Now, the president has arranged for someone to help her deal with the mysterious man. With the addition of the National Cyber Warfare Department, Martin has become confident, and she had hoped that she could defeat her opponent in a one-on-one encounter, but because of the difference in strength, she had to turn to the Warsanton side. Martin's thinking is not pedantic, she knows very well that in this world of the jungle, only the winner is king.

In the presidential chamber of Warsanton, Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly suddenly spoke, "Your Excellency, I have made a serious mistake in my security work, and after this time, I will submit my resignation to you." ”

"No, Kelly, I'm afraid I won't agree to your request," said Ebam, looking him in the eye, "Every one of you here is my most trusted helper, and you are all the elite of the country, this country needs you, and I need you. ”

"Kelly, you don't have to blame yourself too much, I know very well the situation of the "Cyber Warfare Functional Composition Command" (hereinafter referred to as the Cyber Warfare Department), the disaster almost destroyed your department, and many cyber experts died. "This sector was once a powerful department of the state, and although it was devastated in the disaster, we still have to have faith in it. You're going to start rebuilding the department and building it again. ”

"But Your Excellency, because of the mistakes in my work, the country has suffered losses, and these cannot be passed off like this, and I need to take responsibility for my mistakes." Kelly said persistently.

"Then I order you to make up for your mistakes in the next work," Ebam picked up a booklet and flipped through the list on it, "This is the supplementary list of the personnel of the Cyber Warfare Department that you submitted last time, I have read their qualifications introduction, there are several good seedlings among them, you can focus on cultivating them as appropriate, and the reconstruction of the country is inseparable from these energetic young people." ”

"All right, Your Excellency," Kelly finally agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he decided to attack the mysterious man who had embarrassed him.

"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go and arrange the security, guys," Kelly said to the rest of his colleagues, intending to leave early.

Back in his office, Kelly sat down at his desk, and he took a deep breath to calm his mind.

Kelly pressed a button on his desk, then spoke into a microphone next to his desk, "Let everyone from the Cyber Warfare Department come to my office."

"Call the new recruits," Kelly added, "and let Rick put his hands down and come over and listen to them." ”

With that, Kelly began to think about the Cyber Warfare Department's planning in his mind, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, and a few burned-out cigars lay in the ashtray next to him.

Kelly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, because the waiter took care of it, the water in the teacup was always hot, which was a very generous treatment in the apocalyptic environment.

There was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Kelly adjusted his sitting position slightly to make himself look more upright. The waiter knocked on the door to inform the inside of the arrival of the summoned personnel.

"Come in," Kelly shouted toward the door.

Seven or eight people rushed in and stood in a row at Kelly's desk, most of them acting a little reserved.

"Now it's time for you to get the real thing, guys," Kelly glanced at the men in front of him and gestured to the couch next to him, "Sit down." ”

After these people were seated, Kelly continued, "There's a guy who has made our Cyber Warfare Department lose face in front of the president, and then I want you to get the field back for me." ”

"You go back and get ready, and then I'm going to go to Houston and meet up with a woman named Martin," Kay tapped his finger on the table, "Don't underestimate this woman, she's also a great hacker." I want you to work with her to find out the identity of the hacker who stole our national security information, including the forces behind it. ”

"Rick," Kelly's gaze turned to a young man with a calm look, "you're the one who plays code, you're the one with the best communication skills, and you're in charge of coordinating this operation." Someone will send you the information about Dr. Martin from the Tampa Institute, so you can find out first, and you will need it when you go to Houston. ”

"Okay, General Kelly." The named Chinese-American man appeared to be in his early thirties, but it was clear from Kelly's arrangement that he was highly regarded by the secretary of homeland security.

In Tampa Bay, a cruise ship has just set sail and its destination is Everglades to the south.

A hundred kilometers away in the wilderness, there is also a convoy heading for the same destination.
